Distributed Audio Amplifiers ECC-50DA/E ECC-125DA/E Installation Manual Document LS10027-000FL-E 8/13/2013 Rev: P/N LS10027-000FL-E:B B ECN 13-707
Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and understood.
Software Downloads In order to supply the latest features and functionality in fire alarm and life safety technology to our customers, we make frequent upgrades to the embedded software in our products. To ensure that you are installing and programming the latest features, we strongly recommend that you download the most current version of software for each product prior to commissioning any system.

Section 1: ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier 1.1 Installation This section provides information on how to install the ECC-50DA for use with the ECC-50/100 Emergency Command Center. NOTE: The term ECC-50DA is used in this manual to refer to both the ECC-50DA (120 VAC version) and the ECC-50DAE (240 VAC version) amplifier unless specified. SW2 on the ECC-50/100’s display board must be set to the UP position if any ECC-50DAs are installed in the system.
Installation ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier 1.1.2 Mounting the Cabinet Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the cabinet approximately five feet above the floor with the hinge mounting on the left.
ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier Installation 1.1.3 Wiring Specifications To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multiconductor cable for the entire panel. Power-limited, nonpower-limited, and audio circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. Maintain at least 0.25” (6.35 mm) spacing.
